Nitrogen Sports Goes Public To Combat Extortion, Blackmail and Slander

Nitrogen Sports appears to have been the subject of a continual and aggressive blackmailing and smear campaign that they are attempting to bring to an end today by going public with the information. The hacker demanded Bitcoin in order to prevent DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks that were bringing down the site.
Nitrogen Sports posted a few key private messages on Bitcointalk that showcase the alleged blackmailer’s demands. Additionally, we have been handed private messages and email logs that reveal more details, including that the alleged hacker, who goes by the name “DD4BC” on Bitcointalk, threatened to reveal the website to the authorities of the nation they are hosted in, and ominous comments about people the hacker believed to be relatives of Nitrogen Sports employees.
DD4BC has also been hopping on the Bitcointalk forums to complain about Nitrogen Sports’ downtime, which he claimed to cause in the private chat log. In the public posts, he said he ‘loves’ Nitrogen Sports and would hate to move to another sportsbook, but the private back and forth between him and Nitrogen Sports reveal a different story.
